These are awful. I figured with a name like "hivemind" they'd be able to at least build and evolve, say, fades in NS mode. Nope! Just a ton of skulks and gorges creating turrets and turtling, for like an hour and a half. And the map waypoint compatibility is garbage, it can only run on like 5 maps.
Whichbots crash my game 100% of the time as soon as the match starts, guess they stopped trying to keep up with the latest version of NS. Their map compatibility is garbage anyway.
Back to RCbots, I guess...
Need help. At start it crashs and the only way to stop it from crashing is to turn sv_cheats on. and it still crashs sometimes. Is there a better version?
ive copied the files into my NS-folder but my console still doesnt know the bot-commands like hive_menu or so
how do you get lots of bots to play if you are only playing with 2 people?
try opening up the console and typing "addbot"
Are there Marinebots??
For any other :
Hive_add
Looks confusing...
They are there but they don't do anything at all, not even move. Is there a way to fix this?
how to spawn bots?
I got NS for Half-Life 1.6 (aka STEAM version) and for Counter-Strike 1.5 (Retail/Non-Steam). The latest version works in both and so does this bot. \o/
